]]>Summer is the season of exploration, of getting out of the daily routine and taking a break from your busy pace of life. If you haven’t yet been able to get away this summer, our crew at Dependable Camper Rentals have put together this list of tips to help you plan your next getaway here in Texas. Even if you can’t take a vacation this summer, you can plan ahead for when life allows it.

1. Determine the type of vacation you need.

Everyone has their own vacation style that can even change based on your stage of life. You may be in the mood for serious caving and rock climbing, or you may just need to read a book by the pool. You may want to plan the great family getaway, or just leave the kids at grandma’s house. So before you choose your vacation destination here in Texas, make sure you know what type of vacation you want to take.

2. Set a realistic budget and monitor expenses.

Too often, people just start spending money on vacation without first setting a budget and making sure they stay within that budget. You’ll almost always spend more than you intended when you aren’t paying attention. Avoid returning home broke by setting a budget and keeping track of your expenses as you go.

3. Cut costs and do more.

The more you save on lodging, food, and activities, the more you can do while you’re away. Therefore, search around for good deals and special offers. Consider getting a camper rental instead of a five-star hotel. Maybe stay closer to home, investigating all those local activities in Austin that you’ve been wanting to explore but haven’t taken the time to do so. You can find a ton of creative ways to save money and still have fun.

For affordable and reliable camper rentals in the Austin area, you can rely on Dependable Camper Rentals. (Reliability is built right into our name…) We have travel trailers and pop-up campers that can get you where you want to go, enjoy the Texas outdoors, and still have some of the comforts of home.

To find out more or to make a reservation, contact us today at (512) 484-7955, or book online at your convenience.

]]>Looking for a great vacation destination in south Texas, perhaps just outside the Houston area? Better yet, what about a campground located right on the beach? If that sounds like a match made in vacation heaven, then our crew at Dependable Camper Rentals think you should check out Galveston Island State Park.

About the Park

Galveston Island State Park is a beautiful island with both bay and beach sides. They’re known not only for their great water views but also for their peaceful surroundings and range of activities. Whether you come for respite or for outdoor recreation, Galveston Island offers visitors a large number of amenities, including:

Swimming

Bird watching

Picnicking

Campground Info

If you plan on bringing an RV rental, you can choose from either bay side or beach side campsites. You’ll want to read through the descriptions carefully, but you can expect both campgrounds to have water and electricity available as well as nearby restrooms and an on-site picnic table. They have a limited number of sites available, so we recommend that you make your reservations as soon as possible, especially if you plan to travel during the holidays or vacation season.

]]>Yes, you just got the kids back to school. The holidays were fun and memorable, but you’re ready for the normalcy of “the routine.” As you settle back into your schedule, let Dependable Camper Rentals gently remind you that before you know it, spring break will be here.

Sat, 19 Nov 2016 14:00:09 +0000http://www.dependablecamperrentals.com/?p=915Are you considering a pop-up camper rental for your next Texas getaway? Still unsure whether it’s the right choice?

]]>Are you considering a pop-up camper rental for your next Texas getaway? Still unsure whether it’s the right choice? Well, in case you needed a little extra incentive, here is what our crew at Dependable Camper Rental of Austin, TX, thinks are the top reasons to rent a camper.

1. Go anywhere.

With a camper, you have the freedom to travel about anywhere. Want to go to the Gulf? No problem. Ready to take a trip north? Do it.

2. Don’t be leery about towing.

Pop-up campers are light and compact in comparison to larger travel trailers. If we can tow one, so can you.

3. Step up from the tent.

A tent is a romantic idea, but if you want to camp but still enjoy some comforts of indoor living, a pop-up is certainly the way to go.

4. Spend less than renting an RV.

A huge motorhome can be a fun but expensive way to travel. A pop-up camper, on the other hand, tends to be much more affordable.

5. Have your own vehicle on hand.

Take your accommodations with you, but still have your personal vehicle on hand for local sightseeing or trips to the grocery store.

6. Cook your own meals.

Pop-up campers come equipped with a small kitchenette that makes cooking outdoors much easier and convenient.

7. Easy to set up.

Even if you’ve never been camping, a pop-up camper doesn’t take an advanced degree in engineering to set up. With a few instructions, you can pull into your campsite and have your home away from home ready in no time. See for yourself what satisfied customers have said about their rental experience.

8. Sleep up to eight people.

Larger families love our campers, not only for their affordability, but also because there’s generally space for everyone to hang out and sleep comfortably. We have models the accommodate anywhere from five to eight people.

9. Extra storage.

Is your minivan overflowing with luggage? You can store some of your vacation items in the pop-up camper both on the road and after you arrive at your destination.

10. Shelter from the elements.

Rain? Cold night? Blistering heat? No worries. Pop-up campers help you have some distance from less-than-ideal weather so you can stay comfortable. Our models even come equipped with air conditioning.

Want to find out more about our pop-up camper rentals? Contact our team at Dependable Camper Rental at (512) 484-7955. We’re a top provider of pop-up campers to locals and visitors to the Austin, TX, area.

During the month of October, many people like to take advantage of the more mild temperatures to plan a camping trip. For anyone in the Austin, TX, area, you’re in luck because you can find some great camping destinations not too far away. Here are just a few of our favorites at Dependable Camper Rental, all under 50 miles from Austin.

1. McKinney Falls State Park

You can find plenty to do at McKinney Falls State Park, including camping, hiking, geocaching, biking, fishing, and more. The campground has just over 80 sites and hookups for your camper rental. The park is great for outdoor enthusiasts as well as individuals who just want to relax and enjoy beautiful scenery. The main attraction is certainly the beautiful falls over Onion Creek, which makes for many picture opportunities. And the best part? You don’t even have to leave Austin city limits to enjoy this state park.

2. Pace Bend Park

Enter the Hill Country of central Texas at Pace Bend Park. While they have only 20 updated campsites (with water, electric hookups, and showers), it’s a cozy campground that gives you access to a wide range of activities. You can enjoy boating on Lake Travis, hiking, picnicking, bicycling, and more.

3. Pedernales Falls State Park

Pedernales Falls State Park is known for the Pedernales River that can turn from a peaceful stream to a raging river in a matter of minutes (typical for Texas Hill Country). While visitors are encouraged to exercise caution (i.e. avoid the falls…), you can also find many water activities to enjoy and stay safe such as tubing, canoeing, kayaking, and more. Other recreation in the park includes hiking, biking, equestrian trails, and more. Their campground has about 69 sites equipped with water and electricity—perfect for a travel trailer.

]]>Summer may be coming to an end, but you still have time to fit in a weekend getaway or two. Texas has so many state parks and fun destinations to explore within an hour or two in any direction of Austin—perfect for a couple days away. Dependable Camper Rentals of Austin, TX, supports your wanderlust and urges you to consider the benefits of renting an RV for just the occasion.

1. Enjoy flexibility.

You’re a free spirit who likes to get up and go when the mood strikes. You’re not the type to commit to one vacation destination for more than a day or two. However, you still want to make sure you don’t end up homeless on the side of the road.

A travel trailer rental allows you to remain on the go while still guaranteeing that you’ll have a place to stay. You don’t have to stay in one place for long because you take your accommodations with you.

2. Save money.

Compared to paying for hotel after hotel, a popup camper is an affordable vacation option—especially if you have family or friends with whom you’re traveling. (A few decent hotel rooms over the course of a couple days can really add up.) Not only do you have a place to stay when you rent a camper, but you can also make your own meals, which can help you reduce expenses even more.

3. Enjoy the great outdoors.

Summer is the perfect time for outdoor recreation. Soon enough, school will start, or you’ll be tied to your office. Once holidays hit, getting out and about just won’t be as easy. The time to enjoy swimming, hiking, canoeing, and kayaking is now. Spend some time at Hamilton Pool, or travel southeast to the Gulf of Mexico.

]]>If you’ve never booked an RV rental before, you may have more than a few questions about the amenities, the process, and what to expect. The Dependable Camper Rental team is always ready to help make your rental experience the best in Texas. One of the most common questions we get is in regard to towing capacity—and with good reason. You don’t want to show up to get your camper, only to discover your vehicle doesn’t have what it takes. So let us give you a few pointers.

Your first step should be to determine your vehicle’s towing capacity. You can find this information in your owner’s manual. From there, you can decide which motorhome would be the best fit. The towing requirements vary based on whether you want to rent a pop-up camper or a travel trailer.

Note that for travel trailers, each model has a different weight, so you will want to make sure your vehicle is up to the task. Failure to do your proper research could result in damage to your vehicle or to the camper rental.

To get more details on towing capacity, you can download our rental policies, or contact Dependable Camper any time at (512) 484-7955. Dependable Camper is based in Austin, TX. We offer reliable, comfortable RV rentals at affordable prices, allowing you to explore all that Texas has to offer.

]]>You’re ready to start planning your summer vacation to Austin, TX, but in years past, the process has only left you worse for wear. You need a vacation from planning the vacation. But with these tips from Dependable Camper Rentals, this year’s RV vacation will be different.

1. Choose Dependable Camper Rentals.

We would be remiss not to urge you to choose our RV rental company for your upcoming trip. We’re located right in Austin and promise each of our customers affordability, friendly customer service, and reliability—these are our promises to you! We work hard to make your vacation hassle-free.

2. Book your RV in advance.

When you wait until vacation season to reserve a camper rental, you may find that the type of RV you need isn’t available. You then begin to scramble, calling numerous rental companies, trying to find a motorhome that meets your needs. Minimize stress caused during the search by finding a camper as early as possible.

3. Create some lists.

Not everyone is a list person. We get that. However, most people find that when it comes time for vacation prep, a packing list and a to-do list are helpful tools to stay organized. The more organized you are, the less stress you feel as you conquer tasks. Plus, you get the satisfaction of crossing off completed items.

4. Review the rental policies.

Most rental companies will provide you with their policies or a rental agreement if requested. (We make our policies available online or in person.) By reading through the policies in advance, you can ask questions, gather information, and feel confident booking your RV and knowing what your rental responsibilities will be. No surprises here!

5. Ask plenty of questions.

Don’t be shy in asking the rental company any questions. We’ve likely heard them all before, and you’ll feel better prepared knowing the answers.

Armed with these tips and with help from Dependable Camper Rentals, you can be well on your way to a hassle-free vacation in Austin. To make your reservation or gather more info, contact us today at (512) 484-7955.
